Points of Interest

The Menil Collection, a free museum showcasing the private collection of John and Dominique de Menil, is worthy of a visit just to see its spectacular home, designed by Renzo Piano.

The museum's ribbed roof bathes the art work in diffused light. The works include Surrealist and Cubist art, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, classic Mediterranean... More and Byzantine art and rare books.

Rothko Chapel is a non-denominational chapel named for its architect, Mark Rothko. The chapel was founded by John and Dominique de Menil, and is a couple of blocks from their museum, The Menil Collection.

This free chapel is a place for quiet contemplation; no cellphones or photography. There are paintings, but the architecture is really the... More thing here.

Walk east on Sul Ross Street toward Mulberry Street and turn right onto Yupon Street. If you are driving, you can leave your car at the Menil lot and walk over. There is also street parking on Yupon, Branard and Sul Ross streets.

Hobby Center for the Performing Arts has its own restaurant, Artista, which is open even if there are no performances. But with 2 theaters and several resident companies, the bustling arts center is rarely idle.
